Funding Options

Medicare rebates are available for the assessment and diagnosis of complex neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism and intellectual disability. Access to Medicare rebates for the assessment of Autism or intellectual disability requires a referral from either a paediatrician or psychiatrist under Medicare’s complex neurodevelopmental disorders scheme.

The NDIS do not fund diagnostic assessments. As such, TP Assessments does not accept NDIS funding for diagnostic assessments. 

NDIS funding can be approved for assessments that are gathering updated information of an existing condition already accepted under someone's NDIS plan. 

If you wish to pay for an assessment using NDIS funding, TP Assessments will require written confirmation from the individual, their support co-ordinator or their plan manager that the NDIS has approved funding for the assessment.

Private health fund rebates may also apply for psychological assessments depending on your level of cover. You will need to confirm with your private health fund directly.

Good Shepherd offer No Interest Loans to eligible individuals for essential goods and services, including psychological assessments. 

  Variety SA provide grants to fund medical/psychological assessments for children aged up to 18 years who are sick, disadvantaged or living with a disability.
